Don’t use a gun, even on your own property, to defend yourself

That's insane! You ever live out in the country, on a farm or ranch? Who the hell is going to defend you if some thugs or tweakers want to make you a target?

One might consider the poor taxpayer and omit the trial.

Agg assault with a deadly weapon. There’s supposed to be a defense to prosecution for being on your property, but the grand jury indicted me anyway and I’d be flipping a coin on a friendly jury if I took it to trial. It was a nightmare.

Suburb of Dallas, they wanted to make an example out of me since I used an AK and this city is ‘uppity’ and doesn’t want any of that stuff going on. Basically, I got screwed hard. $10k fine too, maxed.

Sounds like there is a little more to the story here but then I’ve seen some malicious prosecutions in my time too.

But I’ll take my chances and stay armed (if I hadn’t of lost everything in that accident on Lake Mead)

Wrong!

A good person was shot & killed because of them.

I didn’t see your answer downthread when I asked where your incident happened. Pm me as to the city...

Be careful out there folks.

Sure are some strange shootings going on lately. Yesterday it was the firefighter killed by a guy having a seizure. Victim came out of the seizure, thought the firefighter giving him aid was an intruder and shot him.

Notice the writer threw that “Good Samaritan” lead about as many times as he/she had sentences?

Yeah. Right. The perp appears innocent, but the gun guilty.

Mofos like this just deserve to be tied to a post and burned alive, devils on earth, send them back to hell. But instead he will get his butt kissed and if he gets the death penalty they would put him to sleep like a puppy dog and throughout all this, the taxpayers will get hosed. He kills someone we get punished. Look at all the Islamic terrorists we have in jail right now. Why are these bugs alive? Why is Ramzi Yousef alive? This is a bug who bombed the World trade center, snuck into the country by the way on a forged passport, and here we’ve been supporting this bug for the past 23 years. I don’t give a damn if some people think keeping him incarcerated is “more of a punishment”... I don’t want my tax money supporting this bug. Burn the mofo alive and flush his remains down the sewer.

Meant to ask you what do you think would have happened to you if you hadn’t pulled the gun on the drunks?

Was your family in danger?

It was just me, they were shining lights in my place and screaming at me to come out. 45 minutes earlier I had yelled at them to stop smoking pot because the smell came into my house. (yelled from my property) To me, 45 minutes is a ‘break off’ period so they didn’t have a right to come back and get on my yard and threaten me.
